How to Make the Best Vegan Pizza?
Here are a few tips to make the Best Vegan Pizza Ever:
- You must always go for the pizza stone instead of the baking sheet for the best results. A pizza stone helps you make the most delicious pizza, which is better than any restaurant. I recommend a Round or Rectangular Ceramic Chef Pizza Stone, available on Amazon.
- Brush the crust of your Vegan Pizza with olive oil before baking to make it nice and golden brown.
- Make sure to bring your dough to room temperature before using it for your pizza. It helps you get a great crust.
- Do not add more than 1 cup of toppings to your pizza, or it won’t support it.
What are the Best Vegan Pizza Toppings?
Even a vegan diet deserves a pizza, so here are a few other vegan options other than the Ricotta Cheese for you:
- Vegan Pepperoni
- Roasted tomatoes, red peppers, broccoli, or any of your favorite vegetable
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- Top it with pickled jalapenos
- Add dollops of Pesto or Thyme Leaves instead of Basil Leaves.
Benefits of Vegan Ricotta Cheese
It is a popular Italian ingredient used in desserts and main courses alike. Ricotta Cheese is made from milk of cow, sheep, or goat and has a creamy, soft texture and neutral flavor, which makes it perfect for both savory and sweet recipes- pasta and pies. Below are a few benefits of this versatile cheese:
- Vegan Ricotta Cheese is a great source of several essential nutrients like protein, calcium, selenium, phosphorus, and other nutrients.
- The richness of protein helps in growth and development, muscle strength, immunity, and more.
- It is loaded with calcium which plays an integral role in the formation and metabolism of bones.
- This delicious cheese is relatively low on calories and even helps manage blood pressure levels.
You could enjoy your Vegan Pizza with a salad like Caesar Salad with some roasted chickpeas or Kale Salad. Make sure to sprinkle fresh Italian herbs to enhance the flavor. Miss the cheesy pizza? Well, you can also top your pizza with some Vegan Mozzarella. Enjoy it with wine, beer, lemonade, iced tea, or any other drink you like. But to be honest, Pizza in itself is so divine.

- Dust one piece of parchment paper with flour and then place one of the two balls of dough on the top of the parchment paper.
